Chanverrie, France
Château du Boisniard
A 19th-century château in the Vendée bocage, Château du Boisniard earned Gault & Millau's Exceptional Hotel distinction (5 points, 2025), placing it among France's most closely watched château-hotel conversions. The property sits in Chanverrie, a rural commune in the Pays de la Loire, and operates at the quieter end of France's historic-estate hotel tier, a category that rewards architectural patience over resort-scale spectacle.
